Let’s Get At The Heart of It*

At the 2023 HerStry (virtual) Conference, we’re reaching for the heart of our work. Digging at what it means to be writers in this bumpy world and how to tell our stories, to bare our hearts.

Join us for a day full of craft workshops, agent panels, publishing advice and so much more.

*Conference is held on Zoom. All times are CST.

Please note, while HerStry welcomes everyone we are a community specifically designed for women, women identifying folks and nonbinary folks. We specifically want to be a space for: bigender/polygender persons, cisgender women, intergender persons/intersex persons, non-binary persons/gender non-conforming persons, transgender women/transfeminine persons, two-spirit people. If you do not identify as the above, please consider keeping this space safe and sacred for them by refraining from attending.

Registration Opens December 12th.

ADVANCED CRITIQUE

Want more out of your conference experience? We’re offering personal critiques from HerStry’s editors on (up to) any twenty pages of your manuscript. Beginning, middle, or end, we’ll help you though those tough spots, smooth out your prose, and help you get it publication ready. Advanced Critiques will be scheduled for the days leading up to and the days after the conference. Each one will come with a personal Zoom session to talk about your work. Critique spots are limited.
